Chapter 5

Felicity heard Caelan's roar and froze as if struck by lightning, her entire body instantly rigid.

The mockery and coldness on her face crumbled in an instant.

In their place came endless shock and panic.

She stared wide-eyed at me lying in the pool of blood.

Her lips trembled, as if wanting to say something, yet it seemed all her strength had been drained away, unable to utter a single word.

After what felt like an eternity, she finally spoke:

"Faye, I can't believe you'd make up such lies just for money!"

I trembled as I stood up, looking at her with a cold smile.

To her, I had once abandoned her for money when she was at her most painful and difficult time.

Now that she was successful and famous, I, this shameless woman,

Could naturally throw away my dignity and spin lies for money.

I met her gaze, filled with disgust and coldness.

Even though I no longer had a heart, for some reason my chest ached.

"Faye, you really went to great lengths to deceive me."
